Actuation Lab Reviews

Interesting engineering, freedom generally to tackle problems how you like.

Why I joined: I joined Actuation Lab because of the company’s eco-friendly aims (reducing emissions in industry). Workload: The deadlines are generally reasonable, and it’s also very lovely to be thanked for my work – employees are not taken for granted. On average, my workload is reasonable (with some periods being busier than others). I appreciate seeing directly how my work is benefitting my colleagues and the company in general. Company processes: Some of the company’s policies and processes are still a work in progress, which may seem confusing at first, but the admin team is striving to get more and more things in place as the company is evolving and expanding. It’s a steep learning curve for a start-up! Company culture: I was pleasantly surprised by how every employee always takes the time to explain things to other team members who have a different skill set. This means I’m never afraid to ask questions! CPD is encouraged at Actuation Lab, with training opportunities. The company aims for more diversity in its workforce, but that’s a work in progress. Everyone’s input is appreciated, as long as it’s constructive, so you can speak your mind (respectfully of course). Caring for every team member, as a human being, is one of the big values of the company, so support is offered to employees who are going through a hard time, whether physically or mentally. Socialising together is a big part of the company culture – fun team-building activities are organised several times a year, and achievements are often celebrated with food & drinks. Final words: I can say that I’m proud to contribute to the success of the company and I'm happy that my work is being valued.
